For reference, the newer WRX sedans are:

Length x Width x Height: 4,580 x 1,796 x 1,476 mm
Wheelbase: 2,620 mm
Curb Weight: 3,208 lbs

Hatchbacks are similar but: 4,415mm long.
The older non-flared models were: 1,740 wide.
The older non-flared models had Curb Weight: 3,142 lbs

So they'll be:
Nearly as wide as a WRX
Just a bit shorter wheelbase
200mm, (8") lower
380mm (15") shorter than the sedans; 215mm (8.8") shorter than the hatchbacks

WOW that'll be a nice compact car and pretty wide for its size, VERY stable.
Furthermore, given the size lopped off and the lack of AWD / Subaru transmission, should be quite light.
